Does a viral clip confirm that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave Monaco bombing suspect Anastasiia Berezovska a military award in 2022? No, that's not true: The rumor was based on a doctored clip. The real footage of the award ceremony didn't show people who looked like Berezovska.
Did a real report from Euronews state that Volodymyr Zelenskyy's parents were detained for laundering $11 million?

Russian propaganda outlets and anonymous Telegram channels are claiming that China refused Ukraine a deferral on debt repayment amounting to $30.8 billion.

Claim: An image authentically shows an Israeli passport belonging to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. [...] It was not the first time the image of Zelenskyy's alleged Israeli passport spread online - it first emerged in December 2025 from a parody account on X that the platform has since suspended. Because Snopes was unable to identify any earlier instances of the image, we've rated this claim as originated as satire.

In reality, the video features a woman talking about anti-government protests in Iran. Propaganda edited the footage and faked the heroine's voice using AI.

Multiple social media users shared a video featuring fire at a structure, apparently set by a drone, claiming that Ukraine attacked Putin's residence with drones. However, the Desk concluded that the video actually dates back to 2023 and is not related to any attack on Putin's residence.
We could not independently verify other details about the footage. However, it dates back to May 2023, and hence unlinked to the recent Russian allegations on Ukraine.
A Kyiv Post fact check investigating Russian claims that Ukraine recently attempted to eliminate Russian President Vladimir Putin by launching drone swarms at his personal residence found little evidence that the attack overnight Sunday-Monday ever took place beyond the Kremlin's own claims.
